LOL - missed some great rants last night. The Giants don't have a "weak line-up". Zito is not number 2 on the Giants' depth chart.
The Giants have scored more runs than the Cards in this series, and game 3 could have gone the other direction. STL is a great team, but not some invincible juggernaut that should score 10 runs automatically on Zito, just because. Moon said before the playoffs that the Cards were not that great, and now he thinks they should win just by showing-up?
W-L is a deceptive stat when measuring pitchers, I agree. I am very impressed with how Zito rededicated himself this year. Still, a lot of his games this year were a real adventure, and he made most Giant fans real nervous when he got the ball. Hats-off to Barry for having his best game of the year when it mattered most. IIRC, seven Ks, one walk, two sac bunts. The Giants were great defensively last night, and really helped out Barry.
Hilarious how Zaun was so upset about Zito's "Invisi-poo".
It is a tall order for SF to beat STL three in a row, but at least we have one interesting LCS to enjoy. I think the winner of the NLCS wins the WS.
